Ahrayeph is not a band, but a phenomenon. According to Raf Ahrayeph, the EP Desert Songs will be followed by Ahráyeph - Desert Songs E​.​P. long Ahráyeph - Desert Songs E​.​P. of silence, because he wants Ahráyeph - Desert Songs E​.​P. focus his attention on his metal band Transworld Vibe. Ahrayeph will make one more song for a tribute to The Fields Of The Nephilim, and then the project will be on hold for an indefinite period. So for the lovers: get this EP!

These are songs that were written initially for his previous album AnimAElegy. Musically, the material is somewhere between dreamy rock and prog Ahráyeph - Desert Songs E​.​P. . It sounds quite bombastic and grotesque: with slower parts in the background, floating on psychedelic sounds, gentle guitars, sometimes followed by prog-rock and then straightforward guitar work. The God Machine and its successor Sophia are never far away.

Almost 24 minutes of orgasmic splendor! A witty bass starts Perish. Metallic guitars enter the dark and menacing song. It's overwhelming, but never exaggerated. At the end, the solo guitar does it all, and Raf sings a few octaves higher.

It is obvious that we will miss Ahrayeph. This Incredible - Various - EMI Radiosampler 2006-16 is a hidden pearl in a shell. Raf goes for his metal project, but we hope to hear more from this one day…. Ahrayeph is geen band, maar een fenomeen.

Some already have. What counts for me at the end of the day, is that I can live with the songs. And this time around, I most certainly can. After the original 'Samsara' album was released, I never listened back to it again, like I did do with 'AnimAElegy' and the 'Desert Songs E.P.'. I want to be able to give 'Samsara' the same courtesy.
